A PLACE WORTH KNOWING
Beautiful pottery for the everyday table
A small Modbury ceramics shop filled with handmade mugs, bowls and bottles in earthy, salt-fired glazes.
Arwyn Jones makes the kind of pottery you want to use as well as look at. His Modbury shop brings together handmade kitchen and table pieces, with salt-fired surfaces and a palette that runs through soft blues, greens and warm earth tones. The shelves are worth a slow browse: mugs with substantial handles, bottles, bowls and small objects whose differences are part of their appeal. It is an especially good stop if you would rather take home something useful and individual. The shop also carries prints and cards by other makers. Find it at the bottom of Galpin Street, where it meets the main road, and check the current shop days before planning your visit.
